[Magdalen] prayers please for my D-I-L Christina

[Ginga Wilder]

Thanks again for all prayers and good wishes.  We are in Charlotte at
present keeping a granddaughter.  Both of our boys and their families live
in Charlotte.  We will have dinner with Christina, Robert, and Rory
tomorrow.  I hope she is calm and collected.  She is such a fine young
woman.  Her mom lives in Charlotte, and Robert is taking time a week or so
off work to be with her.  So, if needed, John and I will come back in a few
weeks to help out.
